AVG Internet Security

"POS- IT WAS FREE, 2 MONTHS LATER THEY WANT MONEY"

THE COMPANY LIED ABOUT HOW LONG IT WAS FREE. CAN'T TRUST THEM FOR ANYTHING ELSE.....EVER. THAT IS ENOUGH. LIKE ROTTED FOOD, STAY AWAY

Unlike some security vendors, AVG Internet Security 8.5 allows you to opt in to various partnerships (as opposed to opting out), such as the Yahoo Search box, during installation. AVG Internet Security 8.5 has other strengths beyond its opt-in policy

Symantec acquired the security vendor in 2008 to increase its worldwide market share with consumers in new and emerging regional markets. Since the acquisition, PC Tools maintains a separate development operation from Symantec's consumer business uni

"WORTHLESS!!!!"

No more than 60 days after purchasing this product, I caught a virus that totally annihilated my machine. I'll take responsibility for the first time as I was only using the free version and it wasn't as extensive as the full version. But having i

"Buyers Beware - No email/tech support! Not worth it!"

I wish I could include the compate content of my continuous emails back and forth between me and AVG. The following is a copy of my final response to them - All I wanted was to combine my 2 license agreements into 1! Actual email - only included re

"BAD.Does not block many viruses."

I dont like it.

I "upgraded" from AVG 7.5 to 8 and regret it. With AVG 7.5 I could have my computer useable within 45 seconds. With AVG 8, it is 3 minutes. It has horrible start up times, poor scanning performance, and overall there is nothing that other Internet Se
